At a concert at Beijing’s Bird’s Nest stadium, a male audience member proposed to his girlfriend. She excitedly stood up, blocking the view of people behind her and sparking heated discussion online.
Teacher Liu, did you see the trending topic? A guy proposed to his girlfriend at a concert at Beijing’s Bird’s Nest. It was so romantic!
I saw it. But when his girlfriend stood up, the people behind them all shouted, “Sit down!” In the end, security came over too.
Huh? Why? Isn’t that just like something out of a TV drama? I heard they even handed out wedding candies to the people sitting nearby.
Handing out wedding candies was a kind gesture. But everyone paid for tickets to listen to the concert. If the people in front stand up, the people behind can’t see anything.
That’s true... They were sitting near the front, where the tickets were the most expensive. But the people behind paid for their tickets too.
Right. And many concerts have rules saying you can’t keep standing because it affects the people in the rows behind. If they had waited until after the concert to propose, no one would have been upset.
That would have been better. Romance is great, but you still shouldn’t interfere with other people enjoying the concert.
